So Im new to this forum but commented briefly in a couple posts. I like this thread since it shows just how many people are actively working on or driving their CJ’s. Mine is a 1985 CJ7 , carbureted, T-5 , AMC20 rear, 4:56 gears, ARB, 32’s. And I gotta share this with the group. My teenage son and I have done a good bit of work on it, with plenty more to go. One of us is doing something to it just about every weekend. He and I recently gave it a tune up, replaced the tie rods and ends, gave it a driveway alignment, oil change, checked the fluids, replaced vacuum lines, installed a Grant steering wheel, put the hard top on for the winter, new motor mounts, got an exhaust leak fixed, and thats just in the last three weekends. He drives it daily, on the freeway, to high school and says its the coolest vehicle in the parking lot (apparently all the other kids agree too). Of all the new Jeeps out there, he still likes ours better - says its rugged, looks like it gets used off road (which it does) and he loves the simplicity of an older Jeep not covered in plastic. Thats my boy. Makes me proud.

Welcome aboard, sir! Glad to have you......
Ok - Everyone else is thinkin it...... No pics or it never happened. LOL, seriously - We’d love to see a few pics..... they’re better than reading.
Now you’ve gone and ruined him. He’ll never get CJ’s out of his blood!! I guess he doesn’t realize he’s introducing a new generation to the joys of a CJ!! Well done.............

It seems like your jeep is keeping you busy.
Yeah, my wife would agree with that! Lol

Driving this to high school - how could it NOT be the coolest ride in the parking lot. I’d say it’s the envy of students and staff alike!!

It has the original I6, 5 speed manual tranny and I know nothing about transfer case and diffs..
If someone is reading this please send me a message about how to figure out these things and I will get it straight
I agree, mine is similar.... And the reason I always wanted a CJ7 is because it's what I wanted to have in high school (but didn't have the resources to own).Driving this to high school - how could it NOT be the coolest ride in the parking lot. I’d say it’s the envy of students and staff alike!!

Mine has a very old 4 in spring lift and 32 in tires. I'm 6 ft tall and have to step up into my jeep.

Mine has a very tired 4” spring lift as well - and I’m afraid if I replace it with a new 4” lift I’ll need a step ladder to get in it. I’m also afraid a 2.5” lift won’t be enough........ I like the way mine sets as it is - I’d love to know how close to current stature mine would be with a new 2.5” lift....... it looks very close to yours.

Been a while since I posted, but what I did today would be a lie...
Picked up this little beauty a couple weeks ago. M101 CDN2. It's in great shape, and it'll be ready for camping this summer...I hope!
Took it for a test run to the local Toys for Tots collection in my local town. It pulls great and with the extra torque in the 351w, I don't even know it's behind me.

Thank you! Like most of us here, a lot of blood sweat, tears and dollar bills have gone into it.
I can't take credit for the paint, though. PO had it done...1976 Toyota Orange. When the sun is out, the paint seems to get brighter.
If you want to see what's under the hood, check out my 351w build thread...

Merry Christmas...!!!
Ordered a new emblem for my horn button from a guy on another forum ($30 shipped).
It took about three weeks to get and it is perfect. The guy's name is Jeremy.
This is his post and contact info:
"I sell replacement emblems that are 99% spot on to originals. Foiled AMC emblem, brushed steel text, exact font and exact epoxy doming. The backing plate is aluminum too.
Faded emblems drive me nuts. It's the first thing I notice when I hop in one of my Jeeps.
$30/ea. Best to shoot me a text as I'm not on here often enough. Five2Zero-7Eight9-Zero87Five."
